11, 17, 10, 9, and 5 are adjectives formerly used to describe the Trojans "side" of the score, however the Trojans were "shut out" for the first time all season as the Barnstable Red Raiders said "not so fast" on clinching the OCL title on a merky Thursday afternoon at Barnstable High school.
The Trojans never seemed to get it going on the offensive side, as #21 pitched a complete game shutout, striking out 9 and only allowing 2 walks.
Andrew Noviello pitched a complete game as well, striking out 3 and giving up 4 walks, in his respectable 110 pitch performance, but suffers the loss, falling to 2-1 on the season.
It appeared to be an old fashion "pitchers duel" as the game remained scoreless into the 4th inning, when the Red Raiders scored 2 runs on 3 hits in the 4th inning, and that would be all they needed, as they coast to a 3-0 victory.
"Mama said they'll be days like this, they'll be days like this my Mama said!" (The Shirelles 1961)
I never thought I would quote the "Shirelles", but here I am, "quoting" "The Shirelles". I actually never "knew" who "sung" that "song", until I "Googled" it.
If you asked me on April 1st if I would be tickled pink to have a 10-3 record on May 10th, the answer would be a resounding yes!!! If you go back to my first post I wrote that I would blog about the good and the bad, and it doesn't feel good to blog about the bad..... I'm just saying......
The Trojans will play a double header, on Saturday, against Dennis Yarmouth at Hank Pearson Field, and hope to return to the win column. Probable starter for game 1 is Mike Bruemmel.
